A clothing store manager is comparing weekend sales to sales over the entire week. The store sold $7200 worth of clothes over the weekend.
The store made $12,000 that week in all. What percent of the sales was made over the weekend?
To find the percentage of sales made over the weekend, we first need to calculate what portion of the total sales $7200 represents.
Percentage = (Weekend sales / Total sales) x 100
Percentage = ($7200 / $12,000) x 100
Percentage = 0.6 x 100
Percentage = 60%
Therefore, 60% of the sales were made over the weekend.
